Roast Beef Salad With Mustard & Horseradish Dressing

Roast Beef Salad with Mustard & Horseradish Dressing

This isn't a full blown recipe, more of a suggestion as to what to do with leftovers when you have a roast dinner. We love nothing more than a nice bit of roast beef on a Sunday, to be fair, we don't usually have leftovers as we both love roasts and also we are both pretty greedy! However on this occasion, having cooked a piece of beef that feeds 6 people and there were only the two of us, we found ourselves with plenty of leftovers! Rather than snacking on the leftover beef, I decided to put it into a salad the following day, which I have to say was pretty tasty. The only recipe to this dish is the dressing that I used.

For the dressing:

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tbsp mustard of your choice

1/2 tbsp horseradish

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

It's as simple as this, whisk together the ingredients with a pinch of salt and pepper until you create an emulsion, that is it!

For my salad I plated up some mixed leaves, radishes, green pepper, cucumber and tomato which I then topped with a warmed Yorkshire pudding, over which I then drizzled the dressing.

Such a simple dish but boy was it good! I must make a point next time we have a roast to make sure there are leftovers as I will definitely be making this again!
